The 1008S is a traditionally built mechanical sewing machine that provides all of the basic functions needed for general purpose sewing - and at an excellent price. Quality has not been compromised as for example it has the CB shuttle found in many of the more expensive machines. 16 stitch patterns including the useful reverse feed utility stitches. Decorative stitches, automatic buttonhole, are built in as standard. The metal casing provides extra robustness for harsher environments and the accessory box slides onto the free arm to give a simple extension table.
